The Upper Limit Problem: Why You Self-Sabotage Right When Life Gets Good
IIn today’s episode, I’m talking about the upper limit problem: that moment when things in life or business start going really well… and suddenly you feel anxious, start overthinking everything, or catch yourself creating problems that weren’t even there before.
If you’ve ever hit a big milestone, signed new clients, or had a moment where you thought, wow, things are actually working, and then immediately felt worried it could all go away, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing why that happens, how it shows up for so many entrepreneurs (including me and my clients), and what’s really going on beneath the surface when we start to pull back right as things get good.
In this episode, we cover:
Why success can sometimes feel uncomfortable even when it’s exactly what you’ve been working toward
How distraction and procrastination can sneak in right when you’re about to grow
The subtle fears that can make you pull back when your business starts gaining momentum
Why your brain naturally looks for what could go wrong when things feel really good
How to start expanding your capacity for joy, success, and the life you’re building
This episode is a helpful reminder that those moments of doubt or anxiety don’t mean something is wrong and they’re often just part of the expansion process. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing things right after a big win, this conversation will help you understand why and how to move through it.
